but, look, he's lance armstrong. what he wanted was the cover of "newsweek." he wanted a prominent -- someone prominent in the world of sports to come to his defense because as we all saw last night, lance is a clinical, classic narcissist who really only cares about himself. so he didn't care about me. he cared about getting what he could out of me, but, you know, journalists go through this all the time, and i bought it, and i'm embarrassed. >> dave, you wrote that what he's trying to do now is the equivalent of riding a bike through the eye of a needle. well, we watched half of it. we'll see the rest of it tonight perhaps. did he succeed? >> no, he didn't succeed at all, and he didn't succeed on either front, and that's the key point here is that he had to do two different things that were very different, very divergent, and he failed at both. this is what he had to do. first, he had to show the united states anti-doping agency that he was contrite, that he was serious about taking their findings as the new law of the land. that their findings about him wer

no, lance armstrong was an international hero. a seven time-tour de france winner, the usain bolt of his sport. not to mention a public face in the fight against cancer. yet in his confessional last night with oprah, he confessed only what was obvious to anyone who wanted to see it, that he doped throughout his cycling career. but armstrong did not admit to cheating, denied he was a doping ringleader, didn't admit to bullying, and seemed emotionally incapable of sympathy for the people whose lives he ruined and money he took when they tried to do nothing more than tell the truth about what he had done. joining me is "the daily beast's" buzz bissinger and sports editor for "the nation" dave zirin. buzz, in august of 2012, just five months ago, you wrote a cover story for "newsweek" entitled "i still believe in lance armstrong," and yet last night his interview with oprah winfrey began with a series of yes and no questions. >> did you ever take banned substances to enhance your cycling performance? >> yes. >> yes or no, was one of t

what my theory is behind this entire really weird story, behind this hoax, lance armstrong. i'm obviously kidding. >> what? >> i'm obviously kidding, but my point is this. first of all, funny to see how much attention has been taken off lance armstrong this week by this manti te'o story, but my serious point is that you look at the issue of trust of sports stars. right? in the same week we've got lance armstrong, who we obviously, people trusted him for a decade or more and were inspired by, and now he's turned out to be nothing but a giant hoax and a sham. right? and we've got manti te'o who was a victim of a hoax possibly, but we're having a hard time believing that. i think stories like lance armstrong are part of why we're having such a hard time believing manti te'o could have been a victim. >> yeah. other than the lance armstrong theory, which you know we're kidding about, he did say that two guys and a girl are responsible for the whole thing. hoop is he talking about? >> well, he's talking about a guy named tuiasosopo. ronaiah tuiasosopo, a high school athlete in cal
